As well as stocking a huge range of the best off-the-rack suits and tailoring, a number of our brands also offer a made-to-measure tailoring service for anything from jeans to tailoring.

Brands with made-to-measure tailoring services include Rembrandt, Cambridge, and Joe Black.

 

How to get a Made to Measure suit 

 

Step 1 - Book an appointment by calling 0800 656 400 or speaking to a member of the Menswear team instore. (Please allow 45mins-1hr) 

Step 2 - We will pair you with a Made to Measure expert who will take your measurements and use a suit template to get the best fit for you. (No initial deposit is required.)

Step 3 - Now the fun part! Choose from a range of fabrics, linings, buttons and other trims; everything to make your suit unique to you.

Step 4 - Your measurements and material preferences will be sent away to the brand manufacturer to produce the suit and will arrive back instore in 5-6 weeks. You will be required to have at least one more fitting for any alterations to ensure the suit fits perfectly.

Step 5 - Once you are fully satisfied with the finished garment, then payment is taken and you are ready with your Made to Measure suit.
